option #43

System option #43 controls whether a Synergy application produces a stop message when a STOP statement is executed.

If you set system option #43, no stop message is displayed, and the application terminates immediately.

If system option #43 is not set, the following message is displayed:

%DBR‑S‑STPMSG, STOP %DBR‑I‑ATLINE, At line x in routine STOP (test.dbl)

On Windows, if system option #43 is set, the message “%DBR‑S‑STPMSG, STOP, at line x in routine xyz (xyz.dbl)” is suppressed when a stop statement is reached. The application terminates immediately, and any text output of the program disappears from the screen.

If system option #43 is not set on Windows, a stop message is produced in one of the following two forms:

If the application’s output is not redirected, the stop message is displayed in a message box. The user must click the OK button to terminate the application. This setting allows the user to read text output from the program.

If the application’s output is redirected to a file, the stop message is printed to the file instead of being displayed in a message box.
